Jenstar,
Hope it's okay if I jump in, I know you all don't really know me (hope to change that...) but I lurk daily and get so much from all your posts.
Both your posts are EXACTLY how I feel about this whole subject. You must be reading my mind (scary for you!) Thanks so much for stating all of that better that I ever could have. I am a huge champion of the idea of treating our mental health needs NO DIFFERENTLY than our physical ones, as you already explained beautifully. And I do think our example, steady and repeated, is the best way to slowly open minds.
One more example...have you ever had a *friend*, who the next time they see you after finding out you're in therapy, at the slightest sigh or non-smiling expression says - are you okay? Something wrong? Do you need to talk? I'm dealing with that right now, and bless the woman she means well but that attitude makes me want to scream.....arghhhh!
Your posts are awesome and I love your attitude...(and I have also further-hijacked Daisy's thread. Oops...I apologize.) - 10derHeart
